Storage

Does anyone have an opinion on vacuum sealing uniforms.

Charles,

That is the way that I store most of my WWI era cloth. Plastic bags with most of the air removed, then inside a cedar chest. I don't do that with uniforms however. I store mine flat in a cedar lined Armoir. Old wool, like old leather, can be damaged by folding (broken fibers). An inspection every so many months is also a good idea. Moth/silver fish damage does not take long to happen and an infrequent check could help stop any activity before it gets too far.
